Leppinwell will run tours through Oct. 30.

Falderal opens Cork & Cap

The owners of Falderal Winery at 131 Third Ave. W. in downtown Hendersonville have established The Cork & Cap, a business providing homemade wine, beer and liquor enthusiasts with supplies, equipment and ingredients. Paul Kovacich and Julia Newbold, husband and wife team at Falderal Winery, have expanded the products line to become a major supplier for home-brew customers.

The Cork & Cap is in the retail section of the winery that opened in 2010.

Supplies and ingredients such as hops, malts, whole grains and liquid yeast are available for making home-brewed beer.

Special shipments of juice for homemade wine are provided; and corks, caps, bottles, labels and more are on the shelves.

Wine-making classes are held monthly at Falderal.

Paul Kovacich is the winemaster and is available during regular business hours to answer questions on both wine making and brewing.

“We want to grab the attention of more home fermenters in the area who might otherwise drive elsewhere to get their supplies,” Newbold explained.

“We have been selling equipment, supplies, and wine and beer kits, but demand has increased enough that we created this official addition to our business.

“Looking at the winery’s name, you wouldn’t intuitively think we provide home brew and wine supplies. The move to establish The Cork & Cap was both out of necessity and to make it easier for home brewers and wine makers to see what we do.”

Falderal’s own bottled and labeled wines are made on premises at the winery, which is in the basement below the retail shop.
